The object of this invention is to provide an improved lamp or" this type.

A lamp made in accordance with this invention is provided with wick holder within the container, a removable cap provided with a nozzle through which the wick eX- tends and a nozzle guard to direct the air currents about the flame. The cap is also provided with a hole through which a pin or the like can be inserted for adjusting the wick and with or without means for fixing the lamp in a candle stick or in the ground, and with or without a wind screen.

Referring to the drawings filed herewith Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of one form of lamp made in accordance with this invention which is constructed for use in the place of candles.

Fig. 2 is a modified construction for use in camps or mines showing means for fixing the lamp into the ground.

The nozzle guard is provided with a plurality of cuts 7' to direct the air on to the flame. A wind guard 70 protects the flame in a draught. The base of the container may be provided with clips m to fit into the socket of a candle stick or with a spike n to fit into the ground. An adjusting hole 0 is formed in the cap through which a pin is inserted to adjust the height of the wick. A lamp so constructed is well adapted for domestic use or for in mines or other purposes.
